After the fun we had last year reviewing Denny's Hobbit menu, we figured that going again would be a blast.
A few days prior, I began scouring the Denny's website in anticipation of our adventure. There were a few changes to the menu, most notably, nearly all of the dinner items had been eliminated. Even still, I was excited; Denny's is better for breakfast anyway.
Some new items were to be had: the sweet potato pancakes and honey cake French toast were new additions to the Build Your Own Hobbit Slam dish. Yes, I just wrote that with a straight face.

The Bilbo's breakfast feast was...kinda disgusting. The eggs were the "egg food" -- premixed eggs dumped onto a griddle then mixed with spinach, mushrooms, and tons of American cheese. Served with the hashbrowns and "Shire sausage", this meal was barely edible. Hardly good sustenance for a journey to the Lonely Mountain.
The Hobbit Hole breakfast was much the same as last year, except far more bland. The eggs were overcooked, and everything was sadly piled in a heap on a plate. I guess that the dwarves aren't big on fancy plating?
The Smaug Fire burger was one of the new menu items. What made it a fire burger? Some jalapeno peppers layered onto the burger. While they could have put some kind of spicy sauce on it or some pepper jack too, I suppose most people wouldn't want too much fire on their Smaug burger.

All in all, I was pretty disappointed with this trip to Denny's. The menu had very few new items, and much less variety than last year. It felt kind of phoned in. Even doing this review felt very....meh. I really hope that they continue the menu for the final film, but I do hope that more effort is put in next year. Come on Denny's step it up for the last film!
